Overview

apps/splitty is an example split application. It can be paired with slinky to form an application.

Split Image

Split applications allow the user to build the application content separate from the library content by splitting an application into two pieces:

• A “loader” which contains a separate application that can perform upgrades and manage split images
• A “split app” which contains the main application content and references the libraries in the loader by static linkage

See split image architecture for the details of split image design.

Contents
